Today with the Clouds

I say the clouds by nature are very funky and awe-inspiring.
I enjoy watching them pass; just a simple hello or a nod is appreciated. They
swirl and sway, move in waves and dance every single time, yet they maintain
their uniqueness. I mean something which can be counted as a routine, an
unchanging event, is actually a very grand and beautiful journey.

Only time might be able to answer how many eyes have dreamt
and seen their secret mysteries getting a platform on the clouds – a bunch of
flowers, a giraffe eating tree leaves, a cute rabbit, a candy bar, a bicycle, a
boat, a pretty face, a simple smile – everything floating silently, invisible
to others but clear to those happy eyes.

I say the clouds are a blessing in disguise. They are what
freedom might look if given a form. I often try to paint them, to capture them,
to be like them… a far-fetched dream. I am trying and I’ll continue.

I tell you there is some sort of sublime never-ending party
that is going on up there. I have a proof… I didn’t believe it until I shared
it and got to know that many, many, many people know about it too. Some of them
have, like me, heard the clouds laugh… not just giggle but burst into laughter.

Others talk about the clouds as singers, dancers, good listeners,
painters; a well-known scientist had said once that the clouds have the coolest
particles, meaning that by nature they are funny and calm. Clouds also like to
play. But more than anything, they are profound… I mean they have depth.

Wise people say that all the answers become clear in the
end… it is now believed that ‘all the answers become clear’ because they are
hidden in the clear looking clouds. So I guess one should not wait till the end
and just keep looking. I am going on the hill top today… let’s see if I get any
answers… nevertheless, I’ll have a good reason to burst into laughter.
